Girls go for the gold All girls age 10 and over are eligible to compete in Canada's largest womens' track and field meet, the fifth annual Colgate Womens' Games, June 19 and 20 at Etobicoke's Centennial Stadium. The two-day meet will feature 12 events, in- cluding the 100 metre dash, hurdles, long jump, shot put, relay and the 3,000 metre run. The meet is open to any girl: association with a track and field club is recommended, but not required. The meet is the only one in Canada that does not require an entry fee. The Games _ have grown' considerably since their inception in 1978 as a one-day affair that attracted some 900 entries. In 1979 the meet was expanded to a two- day event and the en- tries have since doubled with over 1,800 entries received last year. It is expected that the Games will once again see an increase in en- "tries this year, thereby fulfilling Colgate's hopes of expansion of the level of participation in track and field. The event has become the largest female track and field meet in Canada. Although the Run for Fun set for 24th Hundreds of area joggers and fitness buffs are expected out for the third annual Midland YMCA-CKMP Run for Fun, slated for May 24.

This year's edition of the event will feature spot prizes and refresh- ments during the run, and free T-shirts to the first 20 runners to register. Registrations must be in by Friday, May 21. There are three Run _ for Fun routes: a two- mile (3.2 km) run, and four-mile (6.4 km) and six-mile (9.6 km) routes for hardier souls. All routes begin at the YMCA and wind up with finishing legs south on King St. from Hugel Ave. The run will begin at 1 p.m. Entry fee is $1 for children 16 years and under, $2 for runners 17 and over, $3 for couples and $5 for the whole family. The Y has listed a few training tips to help you get ready for the test: 1. Organize your practice sessions -- Warmup (slow jogging, limbering and stret- ehing exercises) ; jogging run; warm down (again a slow jog, limbering exercises). 2.

For further in- formation or entry forms, drop by the YMCA or call Rick Leclair at 526-7828. majority of the entries in past years have come from within Ontario, entries have also been received from Quebec, the Maritimes and Western Canada. Both the United States and Bermuda have also been represented at the Colgate Women's Games. Each female that competes in the Colgate Women's Games will be the recipient of a free T- shirt that will be provided by Penmans in their capacity as an official supplier of the Games. For those fortunate enough to finish in the top three of their par- ticular event, Colgate- Palmolive offers Grants-In-Aid of Education in varying amounts depending on the athlete's age category and overall placing. The philosophy of Colgate behind these awards, which total over $11,000, is to provide' financial assistance to encourage young women to con- tinue to expand their knowledge in the ac- tivity of their choice. In addition, the top three athletes in each event will also receive a Colgate Women's Games medal, and all finalists will receive special awards. The rationale behind the Women's Games is quite simple, say Colgate-Palmolive organizers: they believe that women have not been given the same opportunities as men to develop their. athletic skills, and that since their prime target group is women, it is a way of thanking the consumers for supporting their products.
